Welcome to BugsDirect Ltd. Leading Suppliers of Worldwide Entomology Specimens (Retail/Wholesale)
Hierodula patellifera – brown form (Order: MANTODEA) – A museum-quality praying mantis specimen in A1 condition, expertly dry-preserved and spread for collectors, educators, and natural history enthusiasts.
Hierodula patellifera, the Sacred Mantis, is a robust and widely distributed praying mantis found across South and Southeast Asia. While the species most commonly presents in vivid green, a natural brown colour form occurs — typically associated with drier or more exposed habitats — and it is this less frequently encountered variant that makes this specimen particularly appealing to collectors. The brown form offers a striking contrast to the typical green specimens found in most collections, with warm earthy tones that lend it a distinctive and naturalistic aesthetic. A rewarding and uncommon addition to any Mantodea collection or natural history display.
Perfect for entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, interior designers seeking authentic Victorian cabinet aesthetics, and anyone passionate about the extraordinary diversity of the insect world.

This was part of a double order, same as my other review. I’m new to pinning as a hobby in my spare time. From what I can tell they’re good specimens with plenty of variety. My only gripe is that they didn’t come with ID but that wouldn’t stop me from ordering again. Hopefully ID can be added to future purchases.
As someone who’s just started pinning, I don’t know a lot. From what I can see they are good specimens with a good variety. Would definitely order again. My only gripe is that they don’t come with ID.
